The Mortgage Affected Platform occupies the Can Ricard building
Under the shouts of ‘homeless people and houses without people’, the Platform for Those Affected by Mortgages occupied the reception of the Can Ricard building, where the Social Services of the City Council of Sant are located, this Wednesday morning happy With this protest action, the platform denounces the violations of people’s rights and demands a change in the functioning of the municipal Social Services.
The demand for collaboration between the City Council and the PAH
The Mortgage Affected Platform (PAH) has asked the Sant Feliu City Council to recognize PAH as a valid interlocutor and to establish a collaboration agreement with the platform. In addition, the PAH requests monthly meetings to deal with housing problems in Sant Feliu. According to the platform, these demands were brought to the government six months ago, but have not yet received a response.
Criticism of Social Services
The PAH assures that the Social Services of Sant Feliu City Council operate in a discriminatory manner and that people who go to these services receive discriminatory responses. The platform calls for a change in the current functioning of Social Services and calls for an emergency social care service.
The response of the City Council
After the occupation of Can Ricard, the councilors for Housing and Social Services of the Sant Feliu City Council undertake to meet with the PAH to address the platform’s demands. The Social Services coordinator assures that questioning things is a way to improve them.
The persistence of PAH
The PAH has temporarily abandoned the occupation of Can Ricard, but has expressed its intention to return if there are no changes in the operation of the Social Services of Sant Feliu.
